"Now, consider the *actual* pot user, who smokes maybe once a day.

No such thing. "actual" pot users light up several times a day. Once a day would be showing considerable restraint in the pot users world.

The reason I tried pot a year or so ago was because I suffer from cronic pain, and didn't like the narcotics the doc was giving me. It made it difficult to go to the office. So, It tried a pot study through the doc s office. turns out it's "pain killing " qualities are bogus, not one in the group claimed benefit. In fact, being stoned like that makes one even more useless, worse than the Fentynol patches I was on. Finally I was given Oxycontin, which not any made it possible to return to work, but get out of the wheelchair as well.

Pot is pot, and everyone smokes it for the same reason- to get stoned. Its effect is about the same for everyone, and the length of the stone depends on the rate of metabolism of the THC.

Alcohol's effect depends on your bodies metabolism, the rate at which it absorbs converts and expells alcohol. That as you state varies person to person.

The experience of many even on this thread argue agaisnt that.

Even "stoned" is a vague and slippery term. There are those who get well and truly baked, and then there are those who just get lightly buzzed. Neither appeals, but it's not my job, nor yours, nor the governments, to say that someone shouldn't be allowed to get all tore up at home.

You should immediately turn yourself in to the local autorities and begin serving your sentence for violating the law.
